Integrated Conservation and Development Projects

Time for Decarbonization of Conservation and Development Projects? The Political Ecology of Carbon Projects

The globe’s first carbon projects were designed and implemented approximately 20 years ago following scientific insights that emissions of greenhouse gases needed to be mitigated. Visible in some of these early projects were the important aspects of social governance and local benefit sharing. The projects promised to be a panacea to environmental, social and economic problems in remote rural a...

Integrated Method for Designing Valuable Flexibility in Oil Development Projects

Original SPE manuscript received for review 10 November 2008. Revised manuscript received 24 December 2008. Paper SPE 122710 peer approved 3 January 2009. Summary This paper presents an integrated method for identifying and inserting valuable flexibility into major projects. It builds upon recent work that (1) documents how errors in estimates can bias the selection of design concepts, (2) show...

Including Student Case Projects in Integrated Product and Production Development Research – Methodology Description and Discussion

Within integrated product and production development research, case studies need to be performed for data gathering purposes. Today, there are two commonly used ways to perform this research; observing industry projects or having the researchers perform the projects themselves. The first option can pose data access and IPR issues, and the second option comes with biasing risks. Another approach...

A Simulation-Based Optimization Model for Scheduling New Product Development Projects in Research and Development Centers

a simulation-based optimization approach for the purpose of finding a near-optimal answer can be efficient and effective. In the present paper, first, the mathematical model for the project activity scheduling problem has been presented with a job shop approach. Then, using the Arena 14 software, the simulation model has been designed. Consequently, a numerical example has been solved via runni...
